Classy Obama Supporters Boo Paul Ryan At Inauguration

Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee in the last election, was booed at President Barack Obama’s Second Inauguration today in Washington, D.C.

“If things had gone differently in November, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) might have departed the Capitol on Monday as the vice president of the United States. Instead, he faced a chorus of boos as he left the building to attend President Barack Obama’s second inauguration ceremony,” reports the Huffington Post.

The left-leaning website reports that Ryan attended the Inauguration out of duty. “Ryan announced last week that he would be present for Obama’s public swearing in at the Capitol, calling it his ‘obligation.'”

Ryan is chairman of the House Budget Committee.

UPDATE: Here’s Ryan’s statement on Obama’s Inauguration:

“I congratulate President Obama on his inauguration, and I join the country in celebrating this American tradition.

“The president and I were political opponents. We had strong disagreements over the direction of the country—as we still do now. But today, we put those disagreements aside. Today, we remember what we share in common.

Quite beyond the issue of the election loss, Ryan is still acting like an arrogant snot in the House. If he were within my view I might not boo him, but I would be sorely tempted to shout “Grow up! COMPROMISE!!!” worst…Congress…ever
